    Hi everyone, coming back across this idea we do want to confirm at present for Sales you have Invoice numbers that do need to be unique in Xero. You could ask you customer to reference this as a look up. If you'd like to change this, you can set the Prefix and starting number from within your invoice settings and you'll find you also have options to set this for Quotes and Purchase Orders - More on this here 

    The 'Reference' field of a transaction is slightly different and does not need to be unique, many businesses use this in slightly different ways and I want to be open that we don't have plans for changing this behaviour anytime soon. 

    Appreciate there are some that would like to see a numbering sequence for bills and I'd recommend adding support to this idea where this is represented. 

    Alternatively, in terms…

  8. Ability to flag an invoice or bill when it’s in dispute or query.

    Purpose: To ensure users do not pay an invoice/bill when it is currently 'under query/dispute' in error.

    Hi community, we thank you for your feedback on the value of being able to flag a Sales invoice as in dispute. We know a clear way to mark these invoices would be helpful.

    Similarly to our update for Supplier invoices there are a few options you may want to consider to currently highlight Sales invoices in this situation;

    1. Add a note to the invoice to serve as a clear internal reminder of the dispute.
    2. Utilise tracking categories: Creating a specific tracking category like "Disputed Invoices" can help you filter and report on these items.
    3. Update the reference to add a notation such as [reference number] - 'In dispute'

    While we know these aren't perfect solutions, we hope these may help some in the conversation right now.

    We appreciate your enthusiasm for this feature, and we want to be transparent about where it stands, and this is an idea that…

  9. Ability to make an email sent from Xero appear as @company-name.com instead of message-service@post.xero.com, when users send an email to their client/customer.

    Purpose: To provide more validity when sending communications from Xero out to clients/customers and avoid items ending up in Spam/Junk mail.

    They are very much aware of the appetite from our community on this, and as part of their exploration have reached out some users here as they gather insights.

    For the time being we'll shift to In discovery and I'll return as soon as there is more on this to share.

  10. Ability to have an alert in Xero when an invoice has been paid.

    Hi everyone, we’ve taken time to review the suggestion to include custom fields for both invoices and contacts, and recognise the value it'd bring in helping users capture more detailed information and avoid manual processes.

    However, with other focuses drawing the teams attention such as multiple addresses this idea is not on our current development roadmap.

    As we continue to plan future roadmaps, being highly supported this idea will continue to be considered, however we want to be open about it's current position with you all here. We appreciate you sharing your feedback and for your ongoing participation in the Xero community. Any changes to this status will be shared with everyone on this idea.

  17. To make have Xero fill the invoice number automatically when customer importing invoices.

    Purpose: To save users’ time rather than having to supply their own invoice numbers.

    Hi team, while we intend to explore more controls of notifications long term I want to be upfront that we don't have any plans for changing the existing invoice notifications in the near term.

    There are also factors on the recipients email providers end that could make this notification difficult to provide with certainty.

    Right now, you'll see an event in the history of an invoice when an invoice is sent from Xero, and you could also choose to send a copy to self as a measure to ensure the invoice can be received in your own email inbox. If you'd prefer these not appear in your direct inbox you could set up a filter to route these to a folder.

    We appreciate the interest here but want to be honest and open with you here.

  19. Ability to reuse invoice number if voided, so the next invoice will use the number from the voided invoice.

    Purpose: Ease of reference and to make the list of invoices cleaner to manage

    Hi everyone, we'd like to share an update with you all.

    We've begun release of a deposits solution powered by Stripe to a small group of customers, and expect to roll this out over the coming months.

    We appreciate progressive payments for businesses that work on more of an instalments flow is a little more complex than what will be available initially with deposits.

    We do have intentions to expand on this feature overtime, and I'll continue to keep you updated with further news on deposits and progress payments.
